The Seven Anarchists.

From the Chicago News
The first who appeared was Louis Lingg.
The appearance of this man is remarkable Tall,
erect, of splendid physique with broad shoulders,
with long powerful arms, thin hips and TANKS, he
paced the stone flags for few minutes with lengthy
strides, which suggested the movements oil tiger
watching for a moment to spring on its prey LlngS
is fearfully handsome. Fearlully l say-yes'
Fraught with danger is his extreme type OF manly
beauty to women and men alike. Scarcely is it a
wonder that young women flock to the jail to gaze
on the fierce communist and to tender him presents
as tokens of their sentimental regard or interest.
Hi. face is as beautiful that of a statue by
Praxiteles Delicate features straight nose, per-
feet mouth, high, broad white forehead ana
luxuriant growth OF rich, warm, auburn hued hair.
He has been the most daring and reckless of all the
armed group of revolutionary communists who have
teToriZed Chicago by their threats and menaces.
Samuel Fielder is a man entirely different in APP
pearance from the fiery Lingg thick set figure,
with round head thickly covered with bushy hair,
typical English face and the broad accent of the
north of England are among the eX-hedge preach
ers characteristics. Fieden impresses the observer
as being an honest man, by no means Dloodtnirsty
or savage He has been an agitator from his youth,
and one of his friends said today it is the result
of his gift Of rude oraoy which has placed man
in his PRESENT awful position His voice is pleasant
and the man is evidently thoughtful and the Her
aid correspondent Co.'s not hesitate to chronicle the
belief that FieIden and SchWab will be given a
Communication of sentence by Governor Oglesby, and
that they viii never hang.
Schwab is tell and round shouldered, with full
beard dreamy expression Of countenance ana
has positively gentle manner OF abstractedly gazing
on you through his very near-sightcd glasses. A
scholar, q lingnst and an omnivorous reader.
Michael Schwab may be a philosophical anarchist
in principle, but he is never murderer or cruel
destroyer. Employed an editorial writer on the
cumnunstic newspaper published by Spies, the
Arbeiter-Zeitung, on salary Of $40 week, Schwab
whose talent fitted him to commf nd adequate
compensation, became isanthrope and looked
darkly on modern, or for that matter ancient,
civilization.
Fischer and Engel are rabid communists and their
appearance is neither inviting nor even tolerable.
Fischer in particular is described violent man,
who would not stop at any personal means to attain
an end. Together with Lingg, they were the i'm
mediate movers of the Haymarket outbreak, and
they do not eyince any sign Of repentance for the
injury that wa done on that bloody night when the
bomb was thrown.
Parsons is small and of extremely undressing
appearance: He is the talkerofthe condemned, and
is generally ready to write or speak on any subject
connected with his theories or his personal pros
poets 1t is difficult to associate him with the Hay
market riot except as primary instlgator CT armed
resistance to 'capitalistic tyranny.
Adolph Spies. the former editor of the Arbeiter
Zeitung is not improved in appearance by his long
captivity His face is q handsome one, but dlsap-
pointment and rage toward mankind Of the "op-
pressor class has soured his being so that his man
ner denoted impotence as he paced the floor and
occasionally stopped to speak to an acquaintance.
His proxy wife, Nina Van Zandt, is faithful at
tendant. Her face is not beautiful, but there is
pquaint charm to it that is agreeable, despite her
evident sorrow and suffering. AsentmeAtal yearn
ing first acquired by meeting the communlstc
leader when she went to advertise lost pug dog in
his newspaper, was the signal for deeper passion
and the girl has poured out her yerEsoul at the feet
| Of the man she loves She would shed her LIES
blood for him. too, and The prophesy that mas ire
quently been made that she VIII end her existence
ifspies is hanged next Friday is quite likely to be
| fulfilled.
